[{"type":"text","content":"Los Andes Presents Consolidated Results of 2017 Drill Program at the Vizcachitas DepositResults Support the Continuity of Good Near-Surface Mineralisation in the Central Core and Support Extension of Higher Grades to the North of Current Central CoreVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 17, 2017) - Los Andes Copper Ltd. (TSXV: LA) (\"Los Andes\", or the \"Company\") is very pleased to present the consolidated results for the 2017 campaign. These results further support the new geological model, with significant intersections in the early diorite porphyry and hydrothermal breccias. The drilling also extends the mineralisation to the north of the central core, and shows continuity of higher grade supergene mineralisation.Some of the key intervals from this campaign are:Hole NumberLength(m)Depth From (m)DepthTo (m)Cu%Mo ppmAgg/tCuEq%V2017-01A302.171.9374.00.551151.40.59including134.0226.0360.00.601501.50.65V2017-0490.092.0182.00.511271.60.56V2017-0590.0170.0260.00.492311.00.56V2017-0580.0798.0878.00.532851.90.63V2017-06440.064.0504.00.511641.10.56including56.076.0132.00.81721.60.85V2017-07102.044.0146.00.621571.50.66V2017-09B77.664.4142.00.521531.30.57V2017-10506.0486.0992.00.573571.10.67including76.0514.0590.00.695221.50.84including88.0684.0772.00.702781.40.78including60.0924.0984.00.733411.50.83 * Copper equivalent grade has been calculated using the following expression: Cu Eq (%) = CuT (%) + 2.5 x Mo (%) + 110.55 x Ag (%), using the metal prices: $ 2.2 / lb. Cu, $5.5 / lb. Mo and $15.2 / Oz (same reference prices as in reporting of 2015/2016 results). All thicknesses from intersections from drill holes are down-hole drilled thicknesses. True widths cannot be determined from the information available.The 2017 drill campaign has:Continued to validate the new geological modelConfirming the importance of the early diorite porphyry and hydrothermal breccias in controlling the higher grade mineralisation of the deposit.Confirmed near surface higher grade supergene enriched mineralisationArea of 400 by 400 metres where all the drill holes have average supergene grades of greater than 0.5% Cu.Includes the following drill holes from the 2015/2017 drill campaigns:V2015-03 - 17.9 m @ 0.78% Cu from 44.1 m down-holeV2015-05 - 78 m @ 0.56% Cu from 68 m down-holeV2015-08 - 92 m @ 0.71% Cu from 92 m down-holeV2017-06 - 92...
